Spoil Me More, Dear Huaband

Chapter 42: Cliff Ford the Pit



“That’s enough!” Tess Baker’s face suddenly changed as her once wound was torn open in front of her face and with impunity. She clenched her fists and suppressed the urge to slap him across his handsome face.

No wonder Cliff Ford made such a big show of confessing his love for someone, his fundamental purpose was to mock her to her face for fun, right?

Tess Baker clenched her lips and walked towards the office building with a white face.

Anyone who knows Bowen Carter knows she’s just a stand-in, a bed-warmer!

How many people were watching her laugh during the three years she was with Bowen Carter?

“Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, wait for me! You’re walking so fast in high heels, you’ll break your foot!” Cliff Ford shouted after him.

Carter’s good, he hasn’t even started talking yet!

“Security, someone is harassing me over here, please stop them.” Tess Baker barely managed to pull out a smile and looked tired as she spoke to the two security guards.

She really didn’t have the energy to deal with Cliff Ford, and as long as he had the Bowen Carter ace in his hand, she was losing big time!

The security guards nodded and stepped forward to stop Cliff Ford.

“Out of the way, I have something to say to my sister-in-law!” Cliff Ford was anxious, he hadn’t told his sister-in-law how good Carter was! If Carter found out about this, he would be skinned!

The security guards reached out to stop him and said, “Sir, if Boss Baker is your sister-in-law, this would be even more inappropriate. You are handsome and look like a rich man, it should be easy to find a woman, right? Why bother pestering your sister-in-law?”

Tess Baker got into the elevator absentmindedly, all those feuding disputes between her and Bowen Carter flashed through her mind one by one as if she were playing a movie.

She asked herself many times what would have happened if she hadn’t met Bowen Carter.

But the answer is no answer.

From the first moment she met Bowen Carter, she knew that she could never like anyone else in her life …

Ding!

The moment the elevator arrived, Tess Baker’s phone vibrated several times.

She shook off her somewhat dizzy head and looked at her phone, it was a text message from her senior –

[How about having lunch together?

Tess Baker was about to reply with a snap of her fingertips when Bowen Carter’s warning rang out in her head, “If you’re not afraid of The Gate Group going out of business, you can hang out with Dennis Gate!”

A strong feeling of powerlessness came over her, and she froze for a long time before replying with a text message…

Sorry, I’ve been busy lately, let’s have dinner again sometime.

Tess Baker stood outside for a while, until her legs were numb, and then she entered the office.

The front desk girl saw that she was in a bad mood and didn’t dare to greet her, shrinking her neck to minimize her presence.

“Phew–” Tess Baker let out a long breath and slumped back in her chair.

She took out her phone and searched The Gate Group.

#The Gate Group is back from the dead, and the stock is now steadily rising

#The Gate Group’s shareholder meeting worked, with several major shareholders returning

Tess Baker was relieved to know that The Gate Group was okay and went back to her paperwork.

Later in the evening, Linda Mark asked her to have hot pot.

Not long after she sat down, Dennis Gate walked in with his briefcase.

He was wearing a white shirt with a silver gray suit, typical of a man with broad shoulders and narrow hips and long legs, as gentle as a beautiful man, which instantly attracted the attention of many female customers.

When she saw him, the smile on Tess Baker’s face diminished a little, and she didn’t know how to face him because of Bowen Carter’s threat and the ambiguity of the senior.

“Sorry, something came up at work.” Dennis Gate smiled faintly and sat beside her naturally.

“It’s okay, it’s okay!” Ever since she saw the hickey on Tess Baker’s neck, Linda Mark felt that it was time to speed up the process of setting up Tess Baker and Senior, “It’s good that Senior can come, Tess, don’t you think so?”

She didn’t even bring the little bastard to make it easier for the two of them to talk about love! Tess mustn’t hold back!

“Yeah.” Tess Baker responded with interest, scanning the surrounding area, fearing to encounter Bowen Carter.Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Seeing this, Dennis Gate asked warmly, “Anyone else coming?”

“No!” Linda Mark answered first and said with a flourish, “Tess is not familiar with anyone else except me and the seniors!”

Just as the words left his lips –

“Sister-in-law!”

Cliff Ford, with a happy face, walked over with a sassy catwalk.

Hearing the name, Dennis Gate frowned at him.

Linda Mark rubbed up, hostile, “Cliff Ford, what are you doing here?”

The seniors are still here, what’s this Cliff Ford nonsense?

“Hey, hey, hey, what’s with the attitude? I carried you back when you were drunk last time, and this is how you treat your benefactor?” He’s at least a handsome guy, why does Linda Mark look like she’s on fire every time she sees him?

“Bullshit benefactor!” Linda Mark would have kicked him if she knew kung fu, “I’m warning you, my Tess and Master Carter are divorced, so stop calling her sister-in-law and ruining her reputation!”

Cliff Ford licked his lips and crossed his arms, “I’d rather destroy ten temples than break up one marriage, why are you so bad, how dare you urge your sister-in-law to divorce Carter!”

“They divorced five years ago, why are you still calling Tess sister-in-law? Do you have any shame?”

Tess Baker stood up and said with some annoyance, “That’s enough, stop fighting!”

Cliff Ford and Linda Mark grunted at the same time and looked away, ignoring each other.

“Cliff Ford, what are you doing here?” Tess Baker furrowed her brow, he had mocked her specifically today, and that wasn’t enough?

“Sister-in-law, I’ve been waiting outside for you all day and didn’t see you come out, so I asked a friend to help me and I found out you were here.” Cliff Ford speaks, the nonsense has been a lot, “I have not finished, afraid that you misunderstand, only specifically to find over, to explain to you!”

Waiting for a whole day, how kind and righteous! He was touched by himself!

Linda Mark was confused, “What did you wait a day for?”

No one paid any attention to her.

“I don’t want to hear it, you can go now.” Tess Baker didn’t even bother to look at him, and sat down directly.

“Sister-in-law, don’t be like this! It will definitely become your regret to lose a man who loves you so much because of misunderstanding!” Cliff Ford shamelessly came over and squeezed between Dennis Gate and Tess Baker, “Sister-in-law, listen to me, although Carter used you as a stand-in before, and many people said Carter likes Snowy Cole, but… …”

“Cliff Ford, have you played enough?” Without waiting for him to finish, Tess Baker interrupted

Dennis Gate stood up, his voice still gentle but with a distinctly cold tone, “Mr. Lu, please leave here.”

“Who are you to tell me to leave? You treat my restaurant as your home?” Cliff Ford tilted his chin slightly and Ni gave him a glance.

When turning to Tess Baker, his arrogant face immediately changed to a flattering one, “Sister-in-law, can you at least let me finish my sentence? I …”
